The Planned Parenthood community is made up of people from all walks of life – including immigrants and refugees. An attack on immigrants and refugees is an attack on our people. We will not stand by and allow our immigrant family to be stripped of their rights, that’s why we are so proud to be a part of the national mobilization efforts on January 14 to stand with them.

Love is Love, the comics anthology honoring the victims of the shooting at Pulse, came out on Dec. 28, and it sure is beautiful. 

The anthology, an ambitious undertaking that includes more than 300 writers and illustrators, is both a tribute to the victims of last year’s Pulse nightclub shooting in Florida ― the worst mass shooting in U.S. history ― and a therapeutic outlet for those living in its aftermath.

The 144-page comic offers vignettes ranging from personal essays and poems sharing grief, to more lighthearted strips reminding readers that being in the LGBTQ community is something worth celebrating. In one comic, writer Teddy Tenebaum makes the case that LGBTQ love is in fact different from straight love ― not because it’s less than it ― but because despite hatred that the LGBTQ community faces, their love endures. It’s “super-love.”

All proceeds for the comic book go to the LGBT organization Equality Florida, if you want to pick one up before your local comics shop runs out. (via the Huffington Post)

gentle reminder that bigender doesn’t just mean male and female, it can mean any two genders.

Also those genders don’t have to be simultaneous and static, they can be fluid and a bigender person can switch between two genders

On the Washington, D.C. street where Mike Pence will be living before Inauguration Day, his new neighbors have begun displaying rainbow flags in protest. 

According to one resident, Ilse Heintzen: “[It’s] a respectful message showing, in my case, my disagreement with some of his thinking. I have no idea what [the Vice-President Elect] will think about, but I hope he will change his mind.” So far, there are six flags and counting. Good on ya, D.C. (via WJLA)

I was able to see many parts of the quilt created in memorial of those who died of AIDS-related complications. Although AIDS itself is not a “gay disease” like many people assume, it did kill an incredibly large amount of gay people, and my community was greatly affected by it. Today there is a higher chance of survival for those diagnosed with HIV/AIDS because of different medications and funding for AIDS research, but we won’t ever forget those who lost their lives to AIDS.

Embracing your nonbinary gender is at least as much about joy as it is about relieving pain.

It’s about living a better life by being who you are.

Allow yourself to feel your emotions. You can feel pain when others expect you to be fine. You can feel happiness when others want you to feel misery.

Allow yourself to live your own life.

My mother responded to me coming out with “oh, well, you’re bi, you should just choose to be straight, then. It would be a lot easier and you wouldn’t have to face any homophobia.” I think that my mother probably intended to be compassionate: after all, she’s a nice liberal who doesn’t consider herself to be homophobic in any way. But this still was, mm, not exactly a great way to respond to me coming out. And I’ve met quite a few other bisexuals whose parents responded similarly. I put the blame for that response squarely on “no one would choose to be gay” discourse. If you believe sincerely that gay people should be accepted because they didn’t choose it, because no one would live a gay life if they had another option, what happens to those of us who could be straight, if only we lied and repressed part of ourselves? Why would the compassionate response to us coming out be anything other than shoving us back in the closet as quickly as we can, for fear we might experience the tremendous suffering that is being queer? If no one would choose to be gay, then when we choose to be gay, we must be misinformed or simply making a mistake.
